Dance-oriented activities have grown; while social-recreational dance has declined?!?!?!!!

The growth in dance-oriented activities has been occurring at the very same time that social-recreational dance has declined.  How can that be?

Who would have predicted that years ago?  It looked like some of those activities would remain in their backwater, marginal roles.

Performance-dance of almost all varieties has grown greatly (with fits and starts); at the very same time that social-recreational dance overall has declined. And, yes, there are social-recreational dance-booms that occur and then flame out; while performance-dance continues to grow.  (I will be addressing the current Ballroom situation in future posts.)

About "Social Recreational Dance Industry"

  • "Social Recreational Dance Industry" is focused on the social-recreational dance "business" from an "industry" perspective; mostly on exploring the rationale and potential for developing a stronger industry by creating additional superstructure and infrastructure for it. A key rationale is the principle that a rising tide lifts all boats. A strengthening social-recreational dance "industry" lifts all social-recreational dance "businesses".
